Nestled between Uptown Whittier and Michigan Park, this single-level home blends old-world charm with modern convenience. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it offers character and a comfortable floor plan. Original details like the recently refinished hardwood floors, built-in secretary, French doors, and formal dining room reflect the home’s classic appeal. Meanwhile, the updated systems include a remodeled primary suite (2019) with a walk-in closet and beautiful en-suite bath, PEX and copper plumbing, a few dual-pane windows, a tankless water heater, a whole house fan and central HVAC. The kitchen is spacious and ready for your vision, while the large, private backyard—with lush landscaping, vinyl fencing, and sprinklers—offers a serene setting for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room with 220 outlet and a two-car attached garage. This is a well-loved home in one of Whittier’s most desirable pockets.
